M10 help please

[Steve_D]

In the next few weeks we are expecting to start a body off chassis restoration on an M10.

What would be really helpful would be if anyone has any photos of the M10 during the build where we may be able to see the chassis and get a better understanding of how it all fits together.

We do body-off on TVRs but the whole body comes off in one piece and is bolted on with no bonding. From our initial study of the M10 it would appear there are multiple body panels which are bonded and either bolted or riveted in place.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Steve

This sounds interesting. Will you be doing a documentation/progression post?

Rich, my business partner, normally does a Facebook blog but I could possibly do the same thing here. We always take plenty of pics if for nothing else than trying to remember how to put it back together.

My M12 body was all bonded in place !! Bugger to get apart :-(

From our inspection we could see that it was bonded but not so clear if it was just bonded or more. Was yours also bolted or was it riveted? How many panels were there?

It is a convertible so prob easier to take apart.

Found this pic online.

Splendid just what I’m looking for. Do you know if that was as it was being built up or was this someone taking it apart for some reason?

Have you considered trying to contact Lee Noble?

Would very much like to…do you have his number or an email address?

………Does Dave not have any pics?

Good point, I’ve not asked him.

It’s not mine.
We are Southways Automotive and will be doing the restoration for our customer.
